How deep do you fish for lake trout?
How deep do you fish for lake trout? In the early spring and fall lake trout swim at a depth of between 35 and 45 feet (10.7 to 13.7m). Later in the spring and in the summer they move deeper to 50 to 65 feet (15.4 to 19.8m). In cold weather, when the lake is iced over, trout are found closer to the surface, at a depth of about 10 feet (3 m).
